Imagine eight people are going out to eat. Each of the eight people have a definite strong point in intelligence. Here’s what they may be thinking and noticing as they go into the restaurant:
Linguistic person takes a look at the menu. "Hey, that menu has a misspelled word," he thinks.
Logical-mathematical person looks at the specials board and notices the prices. He thinks, "It would be more expensive to order the lobster dinner than to order the lobster a la carte with two sides."
The spatial person takes in the restaurant ambiance. "If they moved those tables over by the windows together then they could put another table for two in that cozy corner," she thinks.
The bodily-kinesthetic person checks out the menu for low-carb items. She thinks, "I wonder if I’ll have time to do a quick run in the morning before work?"
The musical person immediately notices the background music that all the others have ignored. "They should be playing Italian operas instead of pop music," he thinks.
The interpersonal person walks in and goes straight up to a stranger. Within minutes she is having an animated conversation about their kids, their weekend, and the latest movies.
The interpersonal person gives the restaurant a glance, then thinks, "I want fish and vegetables tonight, and afterwards I’d like to go home and do my meditation."
The naturalist person immediately notices the plants around the restaurant. "That tree needs water," she thinks.
